Status report
The Blues had a full practice Saturday and an optional Sunday. Kyrou and Snuggerud swapped spots on the first and second lines Saturday; Montgomery said it was “just getting a different look.” … Scheifele, a center, skated on his own Saturday and will be a game-time decision. He missed a 5-2 loss in Game 6 on Friday.

If the Jet players can't be motivated by this by putting everything on the line taking it to the Blues for the majority of 60 minutes to let MS know they got this then nothing will.

This one especially important game for Chevy in terms of putting a contender together.

They way Morgan Barron has been playing, surprised a bit he hasn't been elevated to top line, especially with how physical the Blues have been playing our first line.

Its stupid decisions like that ,is why were in this mess. Barron should be 1st line center.

There's a better chance of Appleton being sent to the 4th line and we all know that's not happening.

I think it's going to be a super tight game and the jets lose... Maybe in OT.

Maybe we finally rattle Binnington and we score 4 in 5 minutes.

No Scheifele really hurts. Just historically they can’t win in the playoffs without him. Doesn’t mean they won’t just means odds likely not on their side. Dude misses 2 games cuz of a hit and no suspension just says it all meanwhile Schenn scores goal 3 last game. Just really not good.

BS has left his feet at least twice this series to hit one of our guys but nothing to see here.

If I’m a betting man I’m putting my money on the blues. Without Scheifele, I just don’t think they can win. I’m not sure they can get 20 shots. Helle needs to let in 1 or less. Impossible situation for Helle tonight. Need some goal scoring. Need Kyle Connor to step up without 55. Never mind Helle, need KC gabe Ehlers to seriously step up.

And I think the only way this happens is if the jets allow like 15 shots. If the blues are able to get like 30+ shots, I feel like Helle is giving up at least 3 or 4.

It’s the quality of shots they giving up. Top 5 in high danger chances given up this playoffs. Meaning they giving up tons of quality chances they weren’t giving up in the regular season.
